Lorraine - I just took a look at your photos and wow are they great! I may need to pm you in the next week as I am doing a groom's cake with an ocean wave theme that has a groom's standing on a surf board with the bride in his arms and a little girl hanging onto the coat tails of the groom. Your little people and animals are amazing!

I just looked at your photos, wow! The farmer's cake with the collies and sheep and the darling highland cow is my favorite, though I think the tiling cake is fantastic and very original. I have to ask please, what do you use as the glue for your figures? Thanks!

I swear I'm like a kid on Christmas morning everytime I see you have posted a new video! Thank you for sharing so much with us! I have learned so much from just being able to watch you work. I finally had the guts to do my first fondant figures on my son's 5th birthday cake last week, and I credit my new found confidence to you!

For glue, I mix a quarter teaspoon of CMC powder...that is Tylose or Tylopur to 2 tablespoons of warm water and leave it in the fridge overnight. It never looks like it is going to blend but in the morning you will have a perfectly clear glue which should be a syrupy consistency. If it is too thick, just add a little water and stir it with a cocktail stick (toothpick?) and there's your glue. Keep it in a little jar with a good fitting lid and change your glue weekly. Keep it in the fridge when you're not using it.

Lorraine, I'm like Anya, when I see you have done something new to share with us, it brightens my day. I hope you know how much pleasure your work gives us all & how much we appreciate you sharing with us. For those of you who have not bought any of Lorraine's tutorials, get them, they are incredible.
